In the first scene of #YumYum, co-creative directors Ian and Poppy are getting along well.
It seems, based on this episode, that season two could become more serialized than season one.
After disagreeing on what direction to go in, theyve elected to each independently develop their own ideas.
(It has to happen organically, like it does with Poppy, Ian insists.)
Poppy, on the other hand, needs the opposite.
Thats when Dana wanders in, hoping Poppy will help her learn to code.
After ten exchanges with a sim woman without her rejecting him, theyll know Davids ready to date.
(Were still a little light on the ladies at MQ, so … Brad explains.)
Does that make sense?
Needless to say, David is dispirited.
But in a sweet scene, Brad assures him that he was wrong to call him a loot box.
Brad even went to the trouble of changing Davids profiles, and set him up on a date.
Maybe hes capable of being the hero after all.
Some Nibbles
In the episodes final subplot, Jo secures C.W.
an extension on the long-delayed final book in his trilogy by threatening his publisher with involving C.W.
Im also a little skeptical of Jos examples of authors whose personal views hurt their movie adaptations.
And is it really accurate to say that J.K. Rowling got canceled with a couple keystrokes?
David lures Jo into giving him attention by using a fishing metaphor for online dating.
When Rachel apologizes again for screwing up Grouchy Goat, Dana insists this is just a temporary roadblock.
I mean, we dont want to be sitting on this couch forever, right?
We both got big dreams.
Totally, Rachel replies, but based on her expression, shes not so sure.
Will the gulf in Rachel and Danas respective ambitions pose trouble for the new couple?
Why would they animate that?
When Poppy denies being a seagull, Brad replies, Not yet youre not.
Not yet Im not?
What is that supposed to mean?
What, Im just going to turn into a bird?
Later, Poppy caves and goes ahead with battle royale, becoming the bird.
This all calls to mind, of course, the Gang constantly referring to Dee Reynolds as a bird.
